This is to add to my topic below..
Since Halloween is upon us in a few days, it makes me wonder if stuttering prevents us from having the most fun we could be having on Halloween or Turkey Day, or Christmas....
I mean have you ever been afraid to trick-or-treat, or been apprehensive about having to stutter on "trick-or-treat" when answering the door for yummy candy in your costume???
Luckily I don't remember stuttering at all while trick-or-treating..meaning I probably did, but it was probably light stuttering, and the fun I was having made the stutter seem unimportant....
Or for Turkey Day, wanting to say Grace and thank the Lord before we eat, and we stutter on it, thus making the blessing sound like a joke which in a way it's not....it's cruel that the stuttering gets in the way of these heartfelt things that should not be stuttered on....
Also, what we are thankfull for...most people are thankfull for family, friends, being alive..but what about being thankfull or stuttering??
Surely nobody is thankfull for the stutter of course(!), but I wonder if there is any reason WE should be thankfull for stuttering???
In all of my Thanksgiving dinner's I have never said or volunteered to say Grace because the stutter makes it very incomprehensible, and when it does not come out right, it seems to lose all meaning...so a parent usualy says it....
I'll save my Christmas related topic for a new thread!
